I'll admit something here, I've used this against people, especially younger people. It's not a secret that profanity has become all too commonplace in their language, so if it comes up to a debate on an issue, I'll begin to pressure them, start making them think and respond faster than they're normally accustomed to, and when they're pressured they focus on what they want to say, not what they're actually saying, their brain outpaces their mouth, and many times, BAM, there it is, they blow it, their credibility is blown, everyone forgets anything else they said. It doesn't have to be pointed out, everyone has heard it, the speaker knows he screwed up, his confidence is shot, his concentration broken, he falters, his message is lost and I win. Dirty, maybe so, but in the game of life you use all the legitimate tools at your disposal to accomplish your goals, and your mouth will be used against you. It's called Hung by the Tongue.
So, as you grow up, keep this in mind, in the real world you are continually judged, and how you speak is an important part of that. These school mates WILL one day be your competition and the stakes can be, often are, high. You make the decisions in your life, be just like them, or strive to be on the more winning edge. Strive to purge profanity completely from your vocabulary and you will be able to present yourself with confidence, more articulate because you can entirely focus on your message knowing your presentation comes naturally. Don't be afraid to study English.
They're right, your not their boss ...Yet.
Think about it.
